In 1867 printed matter could be prepaid to the destination. Circulars were rated as
printed matter (rather than newspapers, as before). The printed matter rates were 1¢ to Hamburg and 1½¢ to other parts of the G.A.P.U., both up to 1 ounce. The U.S. credited to Hamburg ½¢ if addressed to Hamburg
and 1 ¢ if addressed to other parts of the G.A.P.U. Whether the circular was sent by Hamburg or U.S. packet was irrelevant. New York began using credit stamps ½ and 1 on circulars, indicating they were being treated as printed matter. The
red and black colors of the handstamps were irrelevant. (Image1)
